Professor Gordon Surgeoner of the Depart- Ment of Environmental Biology and Professor Jon Thorsen of Veterinary Microbiology and Im- munology are currently at the midpoint of a three-year study on the transmission of encephalitis viruses by mosquitoes. Prof, Surgeoner explains that although there are 50 different mosquito species in Ontario, about 90 per cent of the mosquito population falls within the six species now being investigated. The University of Guelph researchers are studying the potential for these six species to transmit three diseases, two of which cause encephalitis, or inflamma- tion of the brain.

The other Dennis Martin two viruses being studied are California encephalitis, which despite its name is a disease of the Great Lakes region, and dengue fever, a tropical disease which sometimes occurs in Canadians returning from vacation and also shows up in immigrant workers. The first stage of the pro- ject indicates that the St. Louis virus can 6e transmitted by only one of the six mosquito specieg, Culex pipiens, an insect that usually takes its blood meals from birds, although it does bite humans as well. Professors Surgeoner and Thorsen are now working on the other two viruses and ex- pect to complete their work by March of 1982. Because of the potential severity of encephalitis, the infected mosquito colonies are kept in the isolation facilities of the Ontario Veterinary College where triple door systems and reverse air pressure on the exits prevent insects from escaping. The mosquitoes take their first blood meal in large plastic encased units inthese facilities. Prof. Surgeoner explains that fetriale mos- quitoes must have at least one blood meal in order to reproduce. In this research, the females bit a mouse skin membrane and get virus- infected blood which is maintained at body temperature.

For further information regarding this program, What is farming? Revenue Canada has ruled some unusual types of ac- tivities as farming. Raising earthworms, tree farming, raising fish, operating a wildlife preserve and the rental of the farmer's marketing quota are classified as farming. Through the growth of some activities on the farm, they may have excluded them- selves from farming. Gravel pits, roadside stands, share cropping, custom work, feedlot operation, and drying grain could be questioned if they appear to be large enough to be extra to the farming operation. For the feedlot, the animals are to be owned mainly by the operator and kept for a period of at least three months. Agents and brokers who buy and sell livestock in a speculative manner would have a greatest limitation in being classified as farming. The rental of farm land to someone other than a spouse, child or family partnership is considered income from property, and not income from farming. This could have serious implication on the death of a farmer. Sharecropping is considered a rental arrangement.
